In this episode, we unpack our recent family trip to New York City and the powerful lessons that came with it. Before we left, we were met with fear-based warnings and “what ifs”… but what we found when we arrived was something completely different.

From walking through Manhattan to taking in the lights of Times Square, we talk about how fear tries to steal joy before it even begins and how to overcome it with faith, discernment, and trusted counsel.

We share how important it is to step through fear, not sit in it, and how to live by wisdom not worry. You’ll hear why “you get what you look for” has become a new family motto, and how this trip reminded us to assume the best in people, not the worst.

This is a conversation about mindset, courage, and choosing to see the good, even when others tell you to be afraid.

Today’s episode is a special one … my 14-year-old daughter Eliza joins me for her very first podcast! We dive into a topic every young woman (and let’s be honest, every woman in general) faces: comparison.

We talk about how comparison is the thief of joy, how it shows up in our lives, and what we can do to work through it. Eliza shares her own thoughts as a teenager navigating school, social media, friendships and what it means to grow confident in who God says you are.

This is a fun conversation about learning to recognize your value, speak truth over your thoughts, and stop letting someone else’s highlight reel steal your joy.

Whether you’re 14 or 40, this one’s for you.

Everyone wants to be an influencer these days… but have you stopped to ask: “Why?”

In today’s episode, we dive into a powerful conversation about what it truly means to influence others. Is it about popularity? Platform? Followers? Or is it about pointing people somewhere that actually matters?

We ask the real questions:

⚡ Why do you want to be an influencer?

⚡ What are you influencing people toward?

⚡ Are you leading… or just following trends?

⚡ Are you influencing others or being influenced without even realizing it?

We share our own thoughts on expectations, pressures, and the responsibility that comes with having a voice in today’s world … big or small.

If you’ve ever said, “I want to be an influencer,” this episode is for you. And if you’re already influencing others (hint: you are), it’s time to get clear on what you’re pointing them to.
